All players start a game of FYFE with the same board. During the game, they decide not only which tokens to use, but also how to score them. In each round, they have the choice of placing one of two tokens. If there is no scoreboard pointing from the edge of the player board to the token just placed (vertically, horizontally, or from one of the two diagonals at the top of the board), a scoreboard must be placed immediately. Players can choose from one of their remaining 15 scoreboards. Once a scoreboard is completed, it is turned over. The first to complete a task receives extra points. Bonus points also await if placing a single token completes two, three, or even four scoreboards. Good planning and choosing the right moment to place the wooden pieces and scoreboards pays off in this abstract tile-laying game by Kosch. Lucky charms give the players individual skills that they can use once in the game. Once all 25 spaces on the board are filled, the game ends. The one who has best combined his scoreboards with the drawn chips wins a game of FYFE.

Welcome to the North American wilderness! Breathtaking mountain panoramas and spectacular geysers await you here. Vast forests and wide prairies offer shelter and safety to countless animal species. Players manage a national park and want to bring the animals together in the largest families. Make sure they find watering holes and that they fully occupy different types of terrain. But beware, unpredictable weather can drive animals away, and the other players manage their own parks and also have influence on where certain species go. Place your animals wisely, think carefully about terrain and weather, and the best national park can be yours. Caldera Park offers new challenges with lots of variety and simple rules. Fans of Savannah Park will find some familiar elements, which in this sequel have been reinterpreted, varied and supplemented with new elements. Caldera Park is part of the Deep Print Games "In Nature" series and, like Renature and Savannah Park, does not use plastic at all.

Standing at the railing of a viewing pavilion, enchanted by countless colorful hot air balloons rising in the distance – this is the idyllic scene presented by Havalandi, the new game by Reiner Knizia. Players take flight in their own hot air balloons and compete to capture the attention of spectators with the most impressive display of these graceful aerial vehicles. Each player arrives on launch day with their own collection of balloons. The landscape is divided into areas with meadows, tulip fields, sand dunes and gravel paths. Along the edges are special pavilions where visitors can admire these elegant balloons up close. Each turn, an airship circling the board indicates two possible directions for the next balloon to be placed. Alternatively, a player may choose to expand an existing balloon group into a nearby region. Points are scored by cleverly choosing where to place each balloon, whether that is in the landscape or next to a pavilion. The most points are scored by launching a fleet of balloons that spans multiple landscape types. Endgame scoring cards, three special balloons with unique abilities, and a double-sided game board provide additional challenges and variety.

After the great success of Dorfromantik: The Board Game, the next part of the Dorfromantik world is no longer about cooperation, but about friendly competition. The basic principle of the Spiel des Jahres 2023 is retained, but now both parties continue to expand their own landscape with the tile they have just unveiled. Two new types of assignments also come into the game, which can also be combined with Dorfromantik: The Board Game. Two independently playable modules also provide more challenge, more variation, more interaction. Four of the new special tiles can also be integrated into Dorfromantik: The Board Game and played cooperatively. Dorfromantik: The Duel pits two players or two teams against each other. And with two copies, up to four people can play. Who will create the most beautiful world of hexagonal landscapes? Who will be better at fulfilling the villagers' quests while also mastering the challenge of new quests?
